A PBX phone system is a private corporate phone network. PBX users may interact internally and externally via Voice over IP, ISDN, or analogue. PBX/PABX permits more phones than real phone lines (PTSN) and free calls between users. It offers phone transfer, voicemail, call recording, IVRs, and call queues

Traditional PBXs had proprietary phones that couldn’t be used with another system. This implies a system-lock-in, which means that you’d be locked to the same system since changing a system involves changing phones, which is costly, or vendor-lock-in, where you are stuck with the same provider as phones can only be used with their systems.

The open-standards-based IP PBX has altered the consumer telecommunications environment, using Internet Protocol as the underlying transport technology.Hosted, virtual, and on-premise PBX phone systems are available. Traditional PBXs limit the number of outside phone lines and internal extensions. PBX phone extensions share outside lines for external calls.

There are many benefits offered by IP PBX, allowing for nearly infinite expansion in extensions and trunks and adding complicated capabilities that are more expensive and difficult to implement with a conventional PBX, such as call groups, digital receptionists, reporting, voicemail, queues, as well as intercoms and paging features.
